Farrah Alexander is a writer, author, and activist. Through activism and the notable wins and losses of the past several years, she became inspired by attorneys who so often were thrown into first responder roles defending the rights of those in need. Believing law is an effective and direct way to enact the positive change we wish to see, she began pursuing her J.D. at Indiana University McKinney School of law. In her first year, she won the Indianapolis Bar Association’s inaugural writing competition with an essay proposing a three-point legislative plan to combat the state’s maternal mortality rate. She also served as a student representative of the Jewish Faculty and Staff Council, a research assistant on the Law v. Antisemitism conference, and became a founding member of the university’s Jewish Law Student Association.

Her debut book, RAISING THE RESISTANCE: A Mother’s Guide to Practical Activism was published by Mango Media in 2020. Her latest book, RESISTANCE IN THE BLUEGRASS: Empowering the Commonwealth was published by the University of Kentucky Press in 2022 and featured a foreword by Rep. Attica Scott. Her editorial work has been featured in Huffington Post, BUST, and Scary Mommy. Her commentary has been discussed in Scientific American, Buzzfeed, Refinery 29, Yahoo, Hello Giggles, Woke Sloth, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Perez Hilton, Daily Mail, BBC, and others.

She is a member of the Everytown Author’s Council, which was designed to “harness the power of the literary community to amplify the gun safety movement.” She currently served on the Jewish Community Relations Council in Louisville. She previously served as a Jeremiah Fellow with Bend the Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice along with a cohort of young, progressive Jews dedicated to fighting white supremacy, antisemitism, and injustice. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Indiana University.

She lives outside Louisville, Ky. with her husband, son, and daughter. She loves to visit state and national parks with her family, mentally unload with reality TV, and is motivated by bending the arc of justice just a little further every day.
